For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0049] The panel assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the panel assembly 100 according to the embodiment of the utility model includes a panel bracket 1 and a motor cover 2.

[0051] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, combined Figure 3 and Figure 4 The panel bracket 1 has an air outlet 11, the motor cover 2 is arranged on one side of the panel bracket 1 in the thickness direction and on one side of the air outlet 11 in the length direction, the end of the motor cover 2 close to the panel bracket 1 is snap-connected to the panel bracket 1, and the end of the motor cover 2 facing away from the panel bracket 1 is connected to the panel bracket 1 through a first fastener.

[0052] The panel assembly 100 may also be provided with a panel 5, an air guide plate 3 and a motor 4. The air guide plate 3 is rotatably provided at the air outlet 11 to open or close the air outlet 11. The motor 4 is used to drive the air guide plate 3 to rotate and the motor 4 is located in the motor cover 2. The motor 4 drives the air guide plate 3 to rotate to close the air outlet 11 and guide the air flow to be blown out of the air outlet 11 to ensure the basic functions of the air conditioner 200. The panel 5 is provided on one side of the width direction of the air outlet 11 and on the side of the thickness direction of the panel bracket 1 away from the motor cover 2. The motor cover 2 is used to fix and install the motor 4. The motor cover 2 is provided on the side of the thickness direction of the panel bracket 1 away from the panel 5, which can play a shielding role to prevent the motor 4 and the motor cover 2 from being exposed to the outer surface of the air conditioner 200.

[0053] Furthermore, the air outlet 11 can extend along the length direction of the panel bracket 1 and be in a long strip shape. The long strip-shaped air outlet 11 can increase the air supply volume and air supply range. At this time, the air guide plate 3 extends along the length direction of the air outlet 11 and is in a long strip shape. The rotation axis of the air guide plate 3 also extends along the length direction of the air outlet 11. The motor cover 2 is arranged on one side of the length direction of the air outlet 11, which is convenient for installing the motor 4 on one side of the length direction of the air guide plate 3 and making the driving shaft 41 of the motor 4 extend along the rotation axis direction of the air guide plate 3, thereby facilitating the motor 4 to be directly connected to the air guide plate 3 to drive the air guide plate 3 to rotate at the air outlet 11, so as to realize the air guiding in the width direction of the air outlet 11.

[0054] In addition, it is understandable that the end of the motor cover 2 close to the panel bracket 1 is difficult to be fixedly installed with the panel bracket 1 by fasteners, etc., which is inconvenient for operators to operate. By setting the end of the motor cover 2 close to the panel bracket 1 to be connected to the panel bracket 1 by snapping, the difficulty of installing the motor cover 2 and the panel bracket 1 can be reduced, which is convenient for operators to operate.

[0055] For example, Figure 2 In the example shown, a clamping hole 12 can be provided on the panel bracket 1, and a lug 21 matching the clamping hole 12 can be provided on one end of the outer peripheral wall of the motor cover 2 close to the panel bracket 1, and the end of the motor cover 2 close to the panel bracket 1 can be fixed to the panel bracket 1 through the clamping connection between the lug 21 and the clamping hole 12. It is convenient for operators to install, and while ensuring the installation stability, the assembly efficiency of the panel assembly 100 can be improved, and the motor cover 2 and the panel bracket 1 can be detachable, which is convenient for later maintenance and reduces the maintenance cost of the panel assembly 100 and the air conditioner 200.

[0056] Furthermore, the end of the motor cover 2 away from the panel bracket 1 is connected to the panel bracket 1 through a first fastener. At the end of the motor cover 2 away from the panel bracket 1, the operator can conveniently assemble it through the first fastener, which is convenient for installation, and the first fastener can enhance the connection stability between the motor cover 2 and the panel bracket 1, and can prevent the motor cover 2 from falling off due to external force, which helps to enhance the structural stability and reliability of the panel assembly 100 and the air conditioner 200. At the same time, the first fastener can also realize the detachability of the motor cover 2 and the panel bracket 1, which is convenient for later maintenance and reduces the maintenance cost of the panel assembly 100 and the air conditioner 200.

[0057] For example, Figure 2 In the example shown, a mounting hole 221 may be provided on the motor cover 2, and a fixing column 131 corresponding to the mounting hole 221 may be provided on the side of the panel bracket 1 facing the motor cover 2. The operator may pass the first fastener through the mounting hole 221 and fix it on the fixing column 131 to complete the connection between the end of the motor cover 2 facing away from the panel bracket 1 and the panel bracket 1.

[0058] According to the panel assembly 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, by arranging the motor cover 2 on one side of the length direction of the air outlet 11 of the panel bracket 1, and making the end of the motor cover 2 close to the panel bracket 1 connected to the panel bracket 1 by snapping, and the end of the motor cover 2 away from the panel bracket 1 is connected to the panel bracket 1 through the first fastener, it is not necessary to set a multi-stage gear transmission structure, and the air supply function at different angles at the air outlet 11 can be achieved only by the motor 4. At the same time, the installation difficulty of the motor cover 2 and the panel bracket 1 is low, which is convenient for operators to operate and can improve the assembly efficiency of the panel assembly 100. It is also possible to realize the detachable connection between the motor cover 2 and the panel bracket 1, which is convenient for later maintenance and reduces the maintenance cost of the panel assembly 100. At the same time, it can enhance the connection stability of the motor cover 2 and the panel bracket 1, thereby improving the structural stability and reliability of the panel assembly 100.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Fig. 9 As shown, the panel bracket 1 has a clamping hole 12, and the outer peripheral wall of the motor cover 2 is provided with a lug 21 that matches the clamping hole 12. The clamping hole 12 penetrates the panel bracket 1 in the thickness direction, and the lug 21 on the outer peripheral wall of the motor cover 2 is provided on the side of the motor cover 2 close to the panel bracket 1. The lug 21 can be inserted into the clamping hole 12, so that the clamping hole 12 can limit the lug 21, thereby realizing the clamping connection between the end of the motor cover 2 close to the panel bracket 1 and the panel bracket 1, which is simple to operate, and the operator can complete a fast and stable installation, thereby improving the assembly efficiency.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1and Figure 2 As shown, combined Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Fig. 9 The clamping hole 12 has a spring piece 121 in it, the end of the spring piece 121 facing away from the air outlet 11 is connected to the inner wall of the clamping hole 12, the end of the spring piece 121 close to the air outlet 11 is spaced apart from the inner wall of the clamping hole 12 close to the air outlet 11, and the lug 21 is clamped between the end of the spring piece 121 close to the air outlet 11 and the side wall of the end of the clamping hole 12 close to the air outlet 11. The end of the spring piece 121 close to the air outlet 11 is a free end, which can produce a certain elastic deformation, such as Figure 6 In the example shown, the spring piece 121 is in the shape of a thin sheet, and the free end of the spring piece 121 can move in the thickness direction of the spring piece 121 .

[0061] During the specific installation process, the operator assembles the motor cover 2 in the direction close to the air outlet 11, and the lug 21 will move from the end of the spring piece 121 connected to the inner wall of the card hole 12 to the free end of the spring piece 121. In this process, the operator will apply a force that can make the lug 21 inserted into the card hole 12, and the spring piece 121 will be elastically deformed. The free end of the spring piece 121 will move away from the motor cover 2 in the thickness direction of the spring piece 121, and the lug 21 can slide along the inclined wall of the spring piece 121 to between the free end of the spring piece 121 and the side wall of the card hole 12 at one end close to the air outlet 11, and then the spring piece 121 will rebound so that the lug 21 is clamped between the end of the spring piece 121 close to the air outlet 11 and the side wall of the card hole 12 at one end close to the air outlet 11, thereby completing the card connection between the motor cover 2 and the mounting bracket.

[0062] Through the cooperation of the spring piece 121, the clamping hole 12 and the lug 21, it is easier for the operator to assemble the motor cover 2 in the direction close to the air outlet 11, making the clamping connection between the motor cover 2 and the mounting bracket easier and improving the assembly efficiency. At the same time, assembling the motor cover 2 in the direction close to the air outlet makes it easier to align the axis of the drive shaft 41 of the motor 4 with the rotation axis of the air guide plate 3 and complete the connection, thereby ensuring the air guiding function of the air guide plate 3 at the air outlet 11. In addition, the spring piece 121 also provides additional support and clamping force to prevent the lug 21 from shifting in the clamping hole 12, which can increase the tightness and stability of the clamping connection between the motor cover 2 and the mounting bracket, thereby improving the structural stability of the panel assembly 100.

[0063] In addition, when it is necessary to disassemble the snap connection between the motor cover 2 and the mounting bracket, the operator can apply a force on the free end of the spring sheet 121 in the thickness direction of the spring sheet 121 away from the motor cover 2, so that the spring sheet 121 undergoes elastic deformation, and the free end of the spring sheet 121 moves away from the motor cover 2 in the thickness direction of the spring sheet 121, and the lug 21 can slide out from between the free end of the spring sheet 121 and the side wall of the end of the snap hole 12 close to the air outlet 11 along the inclined wall surface of the spring sheet 121 in the direction away from the air outlet 11, completing the disassembly process. By providing the spring sheet 121, the disassembly process of the snap connection between the lug 21 and the snap hole 12 can be simplified, the operation is simple, and it is convenient for later maintenance, thereby reducing the maintenance cost of the panel assembly 100.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 A mounting plate 13 is provided on the side of the panel bracket 1 facing the motor cover 2. The mounting plate 13 is located between the motor cover 2 and the air outlet 11. The motor cover 2 is connected to the mounting plate 13 by a first fastener. The mounting plate 13 can be located in a plane perpendicular to the length direction of the panel bracket 1, and can provide a stable connection platform for the motor cover 2, thereby facilitating the connection between the motor cover 2 and the panel bracket 1 and facilitating installation. In addition, a first fixing hole 133 can be provided at one end of the mounting plate 13 away from the panel bracket 1, and a mounting hole 221 corresponding to the first fixing hole 133 can be provided at one end of the motor cover 2 away from the panel bracket 1. The operator can pass the first fastener through the mounting hole 221 and fix it in the first fixing hole 133 to complete the connection between the end of the motor cover 2 away from the panel bracket 1 and the panel bracket 1. The installation is convenient and detachable, and the connection stability between the motor cover 2 and the panel bracket 1 can be enhanced, which helps to enhance the structural stability and reliability of the panel assembly 100.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Fig. 9 As shown, combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 A fixing column 131 is provided on the side of the mounting plate 13 facing the motor cover 2, a support ear 22 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the motor cover 2, and a mounting hole 221 is provided on the support ear 22, and a first fastener is passed through the mounting hole 221 and connected to the fixing column 131. The fixing column 131 is provided at one end of the mounting plate 13 away from the panel bracket 1, and a first fixing hole 133 extending along the axial direction of the fixing column 131 is provided in the fixing column 131, and an internal thread may be provided in the first fixing hole 133.

[0066] Furthermore, the lug 22 on the outer peripheral wall of the motor cover 2 is located at the end of the motor cover 2 away from the panel bracket 1, and the mounting hole 221 penetrates the lug 22 in the thickness direction of the lug 22. The outer peripheral wall of the first fastener may be provided with an external thread matching the internal thread of the first fixing hole 133. During assembly, the operator may pass the first fastener through the mounting hole 221 on the lug 22 and screw the first fastener into the first fixing hole 133 in the fixing column 131 through the cooperation of the internal thread and the external thread, thereby completing the connection between the end of the motor cover 2 away from the panel bracket 1 and the panel bracket 1.

[0067] By providing the lugs 22 and the fixing columns 131, it is easy to process the mounting holes 221 and the first fixing holes 133, so that it is convenient for operators to use the first fasteners for assembly. At the same time, a stable connection between the motor cover 2 and the panel bracket 1 can be achieved, thereby enhancing the structural stability and reliability of the panel assembly 100.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Fig. 9 As shown, the motor cover 2 is provided with a latch 27, which is arranged on the outer wall of the motor cover 2, and the mounting plate 13 is provided with a latch hole 132 that cooperates with the latch 27. When assembling the motor cover 2 and the panel bracket 1, the operator assembles the motor cover 2 in the direction close to the air outlet 11, and can align the latch 27 with the latch hole 132 to ensure that the center lines of the two coincide, and at the same time ensure that the lug 21 is aligned with the clamping hole 12 and the spring 121, and then insert the latch 27 into the latch hole 132 in the direction close to the air outlet 11. Through the cooperation of the latch 27 and the latch hole 132, the motor cover 2 can be positioned and limited in a plane perpendicular to the length direction of the panel bracket 1, and the installation is simple, which can improve the assembly efficiency of the panel assembly 100. In addition, the latch 27 and the latch hole 132 cooperate with the clamping connection of the lug 21 and the clamping hole 12, which can further enhance the connection stability of the motor cover 2 and the panel bracket 1, thereby enhancing the structural stability and reliability of the panel assembly 100.

[0069] Preferably, if Figure 7 In the example shown, the projection of the latch 27 on the motor cover 2 is in a cross shape, which can further enhance the structural strength of the latch 27 and thereby ensure the matching stability between the latch 27 and the latch hole 132 .

[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Fig. 9As shown, the latch 27 is located at one end of the motor cover 2 close to the panel bracket 1, that is, the latch 27 is located at one end of the motor cover 2 close to the lug 21, which is convenient for the snap connection with the lug 21 and the snap hole 12, thereby enhancing the snap connection between the end of the motor cover 2 close to the panel bracket 1 and the panel bracket 1, thereby enhancing the structural stability and reliability of the panel assembly 100.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the motor cover 2 and the mounting plate 13 are both provided with motor shaft holes 23 arranged opposite to each other. The panel assembly 100 also includes an air guide plate 3 and a motor 4. The motor 4 is fixed in the motor cover 2 and connected to the air guide plate 3. The air guide plate 3 can be driven to rotate to close the air outlet 11 and guide the air flow to be blown out of the air outlet 11. The motor 4 can be provided with a driving shaft 41. The motor 4 can be connected to the air guide plate 3 through the driving shaft 41 to provide power for the rotation of the air guide plate 3. The motor shaft holes 23 arranged opposite to each other on the motor cover 2 and the mounting plate 13 can allow the driving shaft 41 of the motor 4 to pass through. The structural design is reasonable, which is convenient for the motor 4 to be connected to the air guide plate 3, and can ensure the function of the air guide plate 3 to close the air outlet 11 and guide the air at the air outlet 11, thereby ensuring the performance of the panel assembly 100.

[0072] Preferably, if Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Fig. 9 In the example shown, the panel assembly 100 may also be provided with an anti-electricity shaft 6, which is inserted into the motor shaft holes 23 arranged relatively on the motor cover 2 and the mounting plate 13. The wind deflector 3 may be provided with a rotating shaft 31, and the driving shaft 41 of the motor 4 may be connected to the rotating shaft 31 through the anti-electricity shaft 6. One end of the anti-electricity shaft 6 may be provided with a first mounting groove 61 matching the driving shaft 41, and the rotating shaft 31 may be provided with a second mounting groove 311 matching the other end of the anti-electricity shaft 6. The connection between the motor 4 and the wind deflector 3 may be achieved by inserting the driving shaft 41 into the first mounting groove 61 and inserting the end of the anti-electricity shaft 6 away from the first mounting groove 61 into the second mounting groove 311. The material of the anti-electricity shaft 6 is an insulating material, which can solve the problem of static electricity attached to the driving shaft 41 of the motor 4, and the problem of damage to the wind deflector 3 and other components when the power of the motor 4 suddenly increases.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Fig.10As shown, an air guide plate 3 is provided at the air outlet 11, and a motor 4 for driving the air guide plate 3 to rotate is located in the motor cover 2. The air guide plate 3 is rotatably provided at the air outlet 11 to open or close the air outlet 11. The motor 4 drives the air guide plate 3 to rotate to close the air outlet 11 and guide the airflow to be blown out of the air outlet 11, so as to ensure the basic functions of the panel assembly 100 and the air conditioner 200.

[0074] Among them, the side of the motor cover 2 away from the air outlet 11 is open, so that the motor 4 can be easily assembled into the motor cover 2 from the open opening. The motor 4 is connected to the motor cover 2 by the second fastener, which is easy to install, and the second fastener can enhance the connection stability between the motor 4 and the motor cover 2, prevent the motor 4 from falling off due to external force, and help enhance the structural stability and reliability of the panel assembly 100 and the air conditioner 200.

The panel assembly 100 is provided with two motor covers 2, which are respectively arranged below the air outlets 11 at the left and right ends of the air conditioner 200 in the length direction and are located on the side away from the panel 5 in the thickness direction of the panel bracket 1. The two motor covers 2 are respectively fixed with motors 4, and the two motors 4 respectively drive the air guide plates 3 at the left and right sides to rotate to guide air in the left and right directions.

[0081] The air conditioner 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention is described below.

[0082] like Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, the air conditioner 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes the above-mentioned panel assembly 100.

[0083] Specifically, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Fig.12 As shown, combined Figure 3 and Figure 4 The panel assembly 100 includes a panel bracket 1 and a motor cover 2. The panel bracket 1 has an air outlet 11. The motor cover 2 is arranged on one side of the panel bracket 1 in the thickness direction and is located on one side of the air outlet 11 in the length direction. The end of the motor cover 2 close to the panel bracket 1 is snap-connected to the panel bracket 1, and the end of the motor cover 2 facing away from the panel bracket 1 is connected to the panel bracket 1 through a first fastener.

[0084] It should be noted that the air conditioner 200 is also provided with a top cover 7, a chassis 8, an air outlet frame 9 and a rear shell, the air outlet frame 9 is arranged on the air inlet side of the panel bracket 11, and the rear shell is arranged on the side of the air outlet frame 9 away from the panel bracket 11. A heat exchanger and a volute may also be provided in the air conditioner 200, and the heat exchanger and the volute are arranged between the air outlet frame 9 and the rear shell. Along the flow direction of the air flow, the heat exchanger is arranged upstream of the volute, the heat exchanger can be connected to the rear shell, and the volute can be connected to the rear shell and the air outlet frame 9. The heat exchanger is used to exchange heat with the air flow passing through its surface, and a wind wheel is provided in the volute to drive the air flow from the air inlet to the air outlet 11. In the specific operation process of the air conditioner 200, the air flow entering the air conditioner indoor unit 200 flows through the heat exchanger under the drive of the wind wheel and generates heat exchange with the heat exchanger, and the air flow after heat exchange flows to the air outlet 11 and blows out of the air conditioner 200 to ensure the air supply function of the air conditioner 200.

[0085] The panel assembly 100 may also be provided with a panel 5, an air guide plate 3 and a motor 4. The air guide plate 3 is rotatably provided at the air outlet 11 to open or close the air outlet 11. The motor 4 is used to drive the air guide plate 3 to rotate and the motor 4 is located in the motor cover 2. The motor 4 drives the air guide plate 3 to rotate to close the air outlet 11 and guide the air flow to be blown out of the air outlet 11 to ensure the basic functions of the air conditioner 200. The panel 5 is provided on one side of the width direction of the air outlet 11 and on the side of the thickness direction of the panel bracket 1 away from the motor cover 2. The motor cover 2 is used to fix and install the motor 4. The motor cover 2 is provided on the side of the thickness direction of the panel bracket 1 away from the panel 5, which can play a shielding role to prevent the motor 4 and the motor cover 2 from being exposed to the outer surface of the air conditioner 200.

[0086] Furthermore, the air outlet 11 can extend along the length direction of the panel bracket 1 and be in a long strip shape. The long strip-shaped air outlet 11 can increase the air supply volume and air supply range. At this time, the air guide plate 3 extends along the length direction of the air outlet 11 and is in a long strip shape. The rotation axis of the air guide plate 3 also extends along the length direction of the air outlet 11. The motor cover 2 is arranged on one side of the length direction of the air outlet 11, which is convenient for installing the motor 4 on one side of the length direction of the air guide plate 3 and making the driving shaft 41 of the motor 4 extend along the rotation axis direction of the air guide plate 3, thereby facilitating the motor 4 to be directly connected to the air guide plate 3 to drive the air guide plate 3 to rotate at the air outlet 11, so as to realize the air guiding in the width direction of the air outlet 11.

[0087] For example, Fig.11 and Fig.12As shown, the panel assembly 100 is used for a floor-standing air conditioner 200, and the floor-standing air conditioner 200 has an air outlet 11 and an air guide plate 3 at the left and right ends, respectively, and the air outlet 11 and the air guide plate 3 extend in the up-down direction of the air conditioner 200. The panel assembly 100 is provided with two motor covers 2, which are respectively arranged below the air outlets 11 at the left and right ends of the floor-standing air conditioner 200 in the length direction and are located on the side away from the panel 5 in the thickness direction of the panel bracket 1. The two motor covers 2 are respectively fixed with motors 4, and the two motors 4 respectively drive the air guide plates 3 at the left and right sides to rotate to guide air in the left and right directions.

[0088] In addition, it is understandable that the end of the motor cover 2 close to the panel bracket 1 is difficult to be fixedly installed with the panel bracket 1 by fasteners, etc., which is inconvenient for operators to operate. By setting the end of the motor cover 2 close to the panel bracket 1 to be connected to the panel bracket 1 by snapping, the difficulty of installing the motor cover 2 and the panel bracket 1 can be reduced, which is convenient for operators to operate.

[0089] For example, Figure 2 In the example shown, a clamping hole 12 can be provided on the panel bracket 1, and a lug 21 matching the clamping hole 12 can be provided on one end of the outer peripheral wall of the motor cover 2 close to the panel bracket 1, and the end of the motor cover 2 close to the panel bracket 1 can be fixed to the panel bracket 1 through the clamping connection between the lug 21 and the clamping hole 12. It is convenient for operators to install, and while ensuring the installation stability, the assembly efficiency of the panel assembly 100 can be improved, and the motor cover 2 and the panel bracket 1 can be detachable, which is convenient for later maintenance and reduces the maintenance cost of the panel assembly 100 and the air conditioner 200.

[0090] Furthermore, the end of the motor cover 2 away from the panel bracket 1 is connected to the panel bracket 1 through a first fastener. At the end of the motor cover 2 away from the panel bracket 1, the operator can conveniently assemble it through the first fastener, which is convenient for installation, and the first fastener can enhance the connection stability between the motor cover 2 and the panel bracket 1, and can prevent the motor cover 2 from falling off due to external force, which helps to enhance the structural stability and reliability of the panel assembly 100 and the air conditioner 200. At the same time, the first fastener can also realize the detachability of the motor cover 2 and the panel bracket 1, which is convenient for later maintenance and reduces the maintenance cost of the panel assembly 100 and the air conditioner 200.

[0091] For example, Figure 2 In the example shown, a mounting hole 221 may be provided on the motor cover 2, and a fixing column 131 corresponding to the mounting hole 221 may be provided on the side of the panel bracket 1 facing the motor cover 2. The operator may pass the first fastener through the mounting hole 221 and fix it on the fixing column 131 to complete the connection between the end of the motor cover 2 facing away from the panel bracket 1 and the panel bracket 1.
